The Bahamas, a sovereign nation of more than 700 islands and 2,400 cays, lies where the Atlantic Ocean kisses the Caribbean Sea. Its name evokes luxury, serenity, and tropical beauty — yet beyond the picture-perfect beaches lies a rich story of resilience, heritage, and marine wonder.

Whether you're sailing past deserted islands, diving into mystical blue holes, savoring Bahamian cuisine, or dancing to Goombay rhythms under starry skies, The Bahamas delivers a multifaceted, world-class travel experience.
